Araok II casts off

The keys to the new Ocea motor yacht have been handed over to its owner. Araok II is a 32.7-metre Ocea Commuter 108 that was fully custom built, like all yachts from the French boatbuilder.

The yacht has recently undergone testing and delivery phases. The initial trials began in the large outfitting centre in Les Sables-d’Olonne for all equipment that can be tested there.

However, it was only after the launch that the serious testing began, with harbour trials.

“Our teams attend, but there are also subcontractors and representatives from the certification body and the flag state,” explains Antoine de Jonckheere, head of the business management department at Ocea. “To leave the port, the boat must obtain a provisional navigation permit. This means ensuring a minimum level of seaworthiness and the safety for subsequent trials.”
